Would love to put this one in my 7099
Looks like this die was on it's last leg.

Nice coin but I'd ignore it for a few reasons:

-- Not in my interest area
-- It's above my budget level (I have a wife I'd have to justify that to)
-- I already have a Classic Head for my type set (1814, and in a MUCH more affordable VF-20)

Another small spot near the berry on the reverse but still an amazing piece.

Beautiful example of an S-277 !! but,...the price...

(I think I'll stick to this example of the same variety in my collection - it cost me about 65 times less than that one).

Excellent specimen, GERMANICVS! This is an extremely tough series to find well struck. Yours is a beauty.

I agree GERMANICVS! My Large Cent collection are mid grades to AU as well. Beautiful coin!

I just posted this one for the wow factor. I love old copper in this level of preservation.

Amazing coin, and impressive provenance. Not too often you see a 66 in old copper!

Stage VII, there are two more later stages. Germanicus's coin is a Stage VIII
